Detailed explanation-1: -First, of course, was to bring the war with Japan to a speedy end and spare American lives. It has been suggested that the second objective was to demonstrate the new weapon of mass destruction to the Soviet Union.
Detailed explanation-2: -After the second atomic bomb was dropped, Japan surrendered and left a large mess to clean up throughout the Pacific theater. To help aid in the process, the United States set up a form of government in Hiroshima to help rebuild the city and give jobs to the people who were struggling to find work.
Detailed explanation-3: -I do not desire any further destruction of cultures, nor any additional misfortune for the peoples of the world. On this occasion, we have to bear the unbearable.” The emperor had spoken. Unfortunately antisurrender sentiment and objections from much of the Japanese military was widespread.

It then dispersed gradually and led to radioactive air contamination.
